Chapter 56 - The Huntlea: The Enforcers of magic 2

Astra told the rest about her sister Adila and her coven the Huntlea. A group of witches who were entrusted by the witch queen to hunt and bring witches who break the sacred rules all witches must follow.

The Huntlea were formed for those witches who were able to flee from the homeland of witches, which was originally numerous places on earth going from Salem in the USA to the Juventino Rosa in Mexico to many others.

But due to the rise in witch hunts were they were hunted and executed, they decided to leave earth to fine a new home known as Luminara.

It's a mana rich planet were most witches are born, raised and taught how to access and use their magical talents.

But there cannot always be peace. As some witches try to break the rules set but the queen and the council of witches, and that is were the Huntlea come in to enforcer the law.

The Huntlea members are among some if not the most powerful witch as the weakest member is around the 4th or 5th circle of magic. While their strongest are around the 8th to 9th circle.

Adila is the leader of the Huntlea and a eldest daughter of the witch queen and the one of the best combat witches of her generation.

Lazarus remember the details of what Astra told them about her and he couldn't say anything of what she said was false. Especially with the massive amount of mana being contained in her body as a thin layer like of mana couldn't be seen by the nake-eye.

Lazarus's golden eyes gave off a faint glow which allowed him to see those that couldn't be seen with regular vision.

"It's rude to stare at a lady without even giving a proper introduction, you know?" Adila spoke her eyes leaving Astra and locking on Lazarus who stood next to Astra with his arms behind his back.

"Hello there ma'am. My name is Lazarus Thomas and I'm a classmate of Astra-"

"Yes... I was told who you were, and what happened, but my question is, how exactly did you beat the criminal at our feet? when it's know she has a whole group that would be a problem for most supernatural entities especially a newborn vampire.

She walked over to Lazarus and gently grabbed him by his chin and analyzed his face.

"I had help from Astra and a couple of friends aswell, and I got them by surprise as they didn't know what I was capable of." He offer his own explanation.

"Yes... and as thanks for helping, you request assistance from my sister to help reconstruct a body for someone, is that correct?" She questioned her tone cold and analytical.

"Yes ma'am."

"Mmmmmm.... well thanks for your service in capturing her, she's one of out most wanted witchs. So you have my thanks for that." She finished releasing him from her grip as she snapped her fingers and one of the four witches behind her walked over.

She was beautiful with rich honey brown skin, and black dreadlocks adorned in jewels which travelled past her waist. Her striking green eyes accentuated by the black eyeliner and black lipstick. With hoop earrings dangling from her eyes.

She wore the same uniform of black, gold and green color similar to Adila but with a few minor changes such as her exposed midriff which revealed her toned abs, long baggy pants, a fur caller jacket and heels.

In one of her hands she held a black lantern which was lit. The flame inside being a green color similar to her eyes.

Atop her head sat a black witch hat

"Valeria, take the prisoner." Adila ordered and the woman followed the order.

She approached Felicia who was struggling as she opened the lantern in her hand and than the flames shot out and engulfed her in them.

Than the flames returned to the lanterns and Felicia was gone.

"Soooo... she dead?" Lazarus questioned.

"Nope. I know it looks like she torched her but really she's inside the lantern."

"Hay missy! you shouldn't being revealing how a witches magic works. I have half a mind to beat you ass for that!" The lady named Valeria shouted.

"Awww! Don't be like that Val-Val... I can always make it up to you~." Astra offered her eyes going down Valeria's body causing the witch to shudder.

"Pass! I'd rather not sleep with any member of my boss's family."

Astra raised her finger to defend herself but paused and thought than realized she was kinda right. "Touche."

"Lazarus didn't bother speak as he just watched but he could feel 2 pairs of eyes on him with those being from the 2 other members ofthe Huntlea.

One seemed to be close to Lazarus and Astra's age. She had bright green and blue hair tied in twin braids. Fair skin with teal blue eyes, similar uniforms to Adila and Valeria but she had in metal knee high boots. Her witch hat seemed more like a top-hat you'd see on a stage magician.

Her gaze seemed more based of curiosity while the other gaze seemed somewhat hostile.

The other gaze was coming from a woman who was slightly older than the other one. She wore the uniform like the rest with the addition of metal armor gauntlets and boots.

Unlike the rest she was the only one with no witch hat. Her teal blue hair was cut short and cut asymmetrical with eyes of the same colors.

She seemed to be the most physically capable amongst the witches here. On the side of her hip sat a blade inside a sheath.

Lazarus didn't look away as he didn't feel any killing intent but he did feel another emotion. 'Jealousy...?'

"Well since this is done we'll be leaving you to your devices... oh! And before I forget Ophelia will come here but she'll be-coming with the youngest." Adila spoke as she walked back towards the portal.

"Wait! what you mean the little Merilina is coming here with Ophelia?!" Astra questioned in a surprised tone.

Adila didn't give her a verbal answer as she snapped her finger and a small envelope appeared in her face.

"That from mother. It will tell you all the information you need " she finished as she walked through the portal and the other members of Huntlea followed after her each waving goodbye to the princess who stood there looking at the letter in her hands.

"You okay?" Lazarus questioned as he came up to her face.

"Haaaa.... yeah I'm fine anyway my sisters will be stopping by soon aswell. But you still need to take care of your other problem."
